The St. Petersburg Police Department's Annual Memorial Ceremony is tonight (Tuesday, May 21) at 7:45 p.m. at the Law Enforcement Memorial at Demens Landing Park in downtown. Please see the attached flyer. This service continues our tradition of commemorating police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the month of May, which is designated as Police Memorial Month.

Our memorial monument was presented to the City of St. Petersburg in October of 2012, by the Heroes of the St. Pete Police, Inc. The non-profit organization helps officers and their families during crisis.

In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the Media Room at the St. Petersburg Police Department, 1301 First Avenue North, St. Petersburg.

The Memorial Ceremony is open to the public and the media is welcome to attend. Please contact the Public Information Office (727-893-7550) for any additional information.
